Lush Life: Nicotine beer

by Nick Vagnoni, Posted Oct 3rd 2005 @ 3:41PM

Apparently a day can’t go by without news of some sort of German beer innovation. Yesterday it was the smart beer mat, and now comes word of a German beer maker blending nicotine into their brew.

NicoShot, a 6.3 percent alcohol beer with 3 milligrams of nicotine, could be used as a way to quit smoking, sort of like nicotine gum, says the beer’s producer, Nautilus.

NicoShot could also be useful for smokers faced with smoking bans in pubs.

It is currently under testing only in Germany.
